What Dell's desktop Linux move means
,----[ Quote ]
| Some of you may be thinking, "Why is this such a big deal?" Linspire
| has been successful in getting smaller OEMs (original equipment
| manufacturers) to offer Linux on the desktop for years. Some small
| OEMs, such as All Around Geeks and System76, offer their own
| house-brand Linux desktops. Other companies, such as EmperorLinux,
| have long sold brand-name computers from Lenovo, Panasonic, Sharp,
| and even Dell after they installed Linux on them.

How people get moved by the word "Freespire"

| There is nothing if that sounds sweet. Yes, many get deceived by
| this word Proprietary as that is the enemy of Open Source and
| currently the only hindrance (may be/may not) for the Open Source.

I'm dreaming of the perfect laptop

| If you don't need Vista and its overhead, then you can either
| drop in a tailored Linux distro or run Windows CE on an Intel
| XScale chip. But if you're opening up the device to a Linux
| distribution, then you've just opened up the floor to other
| processors, such as Analog Device's Blackfin. Intel has made
| noises that Linux is a better solution than Windows for
| mini-tablets/Ultra-mobile PCs -- assuming that anyone decides
| to buy them. It'll be interesting to see how that turns out.
